Too add to the example above, Nintendo 3DS. At launch it was priced way too high. I seem to recall Nintendo admitting that they priced it that high cuz they thought they could get away with it. They were wrong. Most weren't touching the thing. Then they lowered the price to something that was...
Yeah, they were basically a shambling corpse of their old selves long before this final killing. After Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk left I had basically already considered the company dead anyways. Now it's just being made official. Too bad. A sad end for a once great company. No one is safe...
They mean console exclusives. As in, Microsoft is planning on no longer releasing games on PS5. In fact they already started, cuz I don't think Gears of War: E-Day is coming to PS5. But yeah Microsoft intends to keep shipping their games on PC.
Yeah, this. Microsoft's IPs will probably go back...

Woooow, that's some sad-@ss programming. Then again, this is Bethesda Softworks we're talking about. Seems par for the course.
An AI-written mod is not the answer though. It's like all the many console-to-PC decomp and recomp ports that have been surfacing over the last few years. A lot of them...
One time many years ago, I grabbed a version of whatever CoD game was relevant at that time from the high seas, and lucky me it came with a bitcoin miner.
Dangit, if only I had grabbed a 5090 when it came out. I could have sold it and bought an island, a chopper, and a boat, and retired! Okay well the island would come from selling DDR5 RAM, which I sadly have none of either. But sell an RTX 5090 and get a McLaren F1 (and still have money left...
As someone who has to live with two nVidia Linux systems, I gotta say that while they are still way behind Intel and AMD when it comes to GPU drivers, things have gotten much better, especially in the past couple years. What will be interesting to see is when their new NOVA driver is done, cuz...
There's been a loooot of native PC ports from decomps, and also PC versions via recomps, of a lot of classic console games in the past few years. It's really been blowing up. Just scrolling through here you get a small sample of the recent releases...
